    I finally got a chance to try Duck Donuts. I had never been there so I was expecting to walk into your usual doughnut shop where you see rows of yummy looking doughnuts and you start drooling over the vast selection. WELL...if that's what you're thinking you're in for a BIG welcoming surprise. You see at Duck Donuts the doughnuts are made fresh to-order. Who knew??? Well apparently everyone except Me! I guess the young man could tell I was a first timer after I asked..."where are the doughnuts?" I have to give high-5 kudos to Branden who patiently walked me through the ordering process and I settled on a half dozen after much back and forth and FINALLY made my selection...Bacon in the Sun, Glazed, BYO Pecan and Salted Carmel, and Chocolate Caramel Crunch. I thoroughly enjoyed having the option to select my own toppings based on what I like. It is important to note these are all vanilla based cake doughnut not your yeast doughnut you may be most familiar with from Krispy Kreme. The shop had one other customer when I arrived. The place was clean, countertops, floors and tables were all free from crumbs. The small staff working on Fri Aug 2 @ 3:25pm during my visit appeared to be doing their job and not goofing off. I had a great first experience and when I got home I had a small sample of each and enjoyed them. It's important to note, customized and made fresh to-order doughnuts come at a premium costs. The price I paid for the half dozen was about the same price I would pay at Krispy Kreme for a dozen.

    What's not to love about Duck Donuts!! I have been going to Duck Donuts for over 10 years since we found them at the Outer Banks! We had always wished we could have them closer to home and once they started opening more locations we were so excited! While more of a cake-y donut (as opposed to what many of us are used to at Krispy Kreme lol), Duck Donuts has never disappointed. They have a long list of already delicious combinations or you can create your own! Start with an icing flavor, add some toppings, and finish it off with a flavored drizzle and your set! On our recent visit we opted for some new coffee inspired donuts with the Cookies and cream mocha, which was the perfect blend of coffee flavor and sweet Oreo prices, and the Vanilla Latte, vanilla icing with coffee drizzle. Both were amazing and perfect for any coffee lover lol. One our go to flavors is the Bacon in the Sun which is covered in Maple icing, topped with Chopped Bacon pieces, and finished with a Salted Caramel drizzle!! There has never been a visit that I haven't gotten this donut and every time keeps me coming back for more!! We highly suggest visiting the Outer Banks locations as well, the perfect family breakfast while on vacation! We will continue to come back for more and more of these delicious donuts!!

    Had a baby and someone dropped off duck donuts. The baby loved them!! (See pic). I didn't even know 1-day-old babies could eat donuts. I've been to their location and it is nice inside, and the staff is friendly.

    Duck donuts is one of my favorite places to get donuts! I love that when you get donuts from them they are always fresh and warm. The donuts are fluffy and cake like and they have a ton of toppings to choose from to put on them. My favorite donut from them is the Bacon in the Sun which is a donut with maple icing, chopped bacon, and salted caramel drizzle. It may sound like a weird combo but the salty crispy bacon really compliments the sweet maple icing and caramel drizzle. There are a ton of premade donuts you can choose from on the menu or pick any toppings you like. Every donut I've tried from them has been delicious! The staff at this store are nice and there's plenty of seating to enjoy your donut there.

    Always a great donut. They are friendly people and very helpful. It seems much of the items are locally sourced which is great for the community. We don't do it often, but it's a real treat when we get a chance to get to a Duck Donuts.

    Duck Donuts is a great donut shop. They make the donuts you want when you place your order - just the way you want them. We ordered 6 donuts with different flavors. They made them while we watched, and they were still warm when they gave them to us. Everyone of them were incredible. They also offer other choices like coffee, drinks and ice cream. I highly recommend Duck Donuts. I give them a 10/10 rating.

    Great experience all around!!! Walked in at 6:59, not realizing they closed at 7pm and they were so nice to still accommodate our order and were so patient while we picked which doughnuts we wanted. Will definitely be back to this location! Not to mention the doughnuts were great!

    Watching them make the donuts!

    I cannot express enough how much I love these donuts. These are amazing! They are so worth any wait. Although, they can get quite busy, they definitely try their best. And it shows in how well made the donuts are. And how they taste! Always warm and that first bite, heaven!!! It's a bit smaller in the inside when crowded, but I don't mind. 10/10 heavenly donuts!! So worth it!

    All delicious

    When we came to the Yelp event at Goofy Foot we saw Duck Donuts across the way and obviously we couldn't miss out on this, we have been meaning to try them for a while! We got an assorted dozen and it did not disappoint. They are beautiful, first of all, and secondly they are delicious. I really like the cake donut base and I found all of the toppings generous, good quality and flavorful. I honestly couldn't tell you which flavor was my favorite, I definitely took a bite of every single one though which is my favorite way to sample a place like this.

    Order here!!

    We stumbled upon this bakery on a whim when walking around the parking lot looking at other things…read more Even though we were about to go eat dinner, we stopped in for a treat. I was pretty taken aback by how many dessert options they had. Not only did they have a plethora of types of desserts, but they had sooo many flavors/varieties of each one. A dozen different variations of cheesecakes, several cupcake varieties, a dozen different kinds of macarons, several different cakes, tiramisu, tres leches, banana pudding, edible cookie dough, more cookies than I could name, brownies, eclairs, and more that I'm sure I have forgotten. If you can name it, I'm sure they have it. I've been looking for somewhere nearby to get a proper macaron (as opposed to a hard, macaron shaped cookie without the traditional texture) at a reasonable price point. This definitely met those criteria, so of course we tried a flower shaped macaron. It had the perfect, delicate cookie and that classic, light almondy flavor. We also had a brownie batter cookie, which was delicious and reminds me of something I would have saved on Pinterest a decade ago but never gotten around to making, much less as well as they do. Though there was a line inside, we were served super quickly by friendly staff, and found a nice seat outside in the sun. They also had abundant indoor seating. Maybe I'm the last one to hear about Sweet Dough and everyone else has been a fan, or maybe it's a true hidden gem. Either way, I will 100% be back.

    Also a good place to stop for sweets! So many options and…read moreI'm sure you'll find something you'll love! The interior was beautiful and the service was awesome!

Lately though, the brand in general has been letting me down, and this location was no exception. The doughnuts appear to be around 10-25% smaller than they used to be (thanks, no doubt, to corporate, not this location). But, they were also stale and rock hard, which absolutely is the fault of this location. After warming them up in a wet paper towel, they were still pretty good, but I shouldn't have to do that. That said, the interior is clean and the staff nothing but friendly. Better quality control and moving products faster (or just throwing out day or multi-day old doughnuts) and I would still have complaints about corporate, but I'd give 5 stars to this location.
